There is a small possibility that Tinsley Lindley,
debuting in this match, was the captain, making him the youngest ever.
At least three sources name Percy Walters, The Sportsman names George Shutt. The
Northern Whig names Norman Bailey! |

Lindley must be the favourite, he was captain in both the
other two matches of the year, and he was an amateur, as well as the most
capped player in the line-up. But he had never been the England
captain before this point, so is therefore not cast-iron. Moreover,
the
Manchester Guardian, The London Times,
The Field, Wrexham Advertiser, Sporting
Life, Athletic News Annual 1891-92, Northern Whig,
North Wales Guardian, or The Sportsman specifically mention any
captain. |
